This monster hex and counter WWII wargame is a continuation of Diffraction Entertainment's Blitzkrieg. Here WWII continues with the fighting in the Balkans and the Battle for Crete. With over 1100 beautifully executed counters and 5 square feet of maps, it's an exciting operational game. Depending on which of the scenarios played (invasion of Crete, Italian invasion of Greece, German invasion of Yugoslavia and Greece, any of the various naval campaigns), players, with the aid of very thorough orders of battle, can command all the naval, air, and land forces of various nations involved in the WWII Balkan campaigns, Britain, Germany, Italy, Greece, Yugoslavia, etc. Since this is part of a series intended to be the mother of all board wargames, the object of play is to win WWII for the side you're playing! Combat is fast and furious and there (again depending on which of the many games you choose to play) are even supply issues to deal with while you shoot, bomb, and shell your adversaries.
